Looks like there's some kind of linguistic drift going on here? Kinda like "ashcan" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcan_copy …

This seems relevant and may be why you're seeing a bunch of these on Kickstarter recently... because Kickstarter recently asked for them. https://creators.kickstarter.com/zine-quest-rpg-zines-2019/ …

I'm amused by this juxtaposition. "They have to have the same crappy production qualities as the ones made by hand forty years ago!" "Here's a professional print-on-demand service that can do it for you!"pic.twitter.com/dXT2zl8FA6

The Kickstarter promo is probably why you've started seeing them on Kickstarter, but they didn't come up with the concept out of nowhere. Looks like there may have been a rise in "rpg zines" that coincides with and is culturally tied to the rise in "OSG" Old School Gaming.

"We're now/once again playing games the way we/they used to way back in day, why not start putting out fan material the way we/they used to do it?" https://rendedpress.blogspot.com/p/old-school-zines.html … (still just speculation on my part, though)

several times in my life I have done a thing with 4x the production values of the competitors, just as a big !@# you to everyone else (e.g. the story about me memorizing a poem in 4th grade, but also the USAF ROTC cadet newsletter, etc.) This rpg zine thing...same.

"Here's my retro-zine." "Wow, it looks just like those old crappy mimeographed ones." "Yeah, I built my own mimeo machine so I could make them." "..." "And I produced my own paper, replicating the lousy pulp they used back then."

ok, it's true I BUY the ink for my printing press and that's lame but OTOH I do have strong thoughts on rubber vs oil based ink ...so that's definitely Morlock Brand™
